0 Guest Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 I wonder how would feathers give comfort at night? That's why i think it's pillow.. feathers inside?Excellent!!! Well done Mac The Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 I wonder how would feathers give comfort at night? That's why i think it's pillow.. feathers inside?Down is used for mattresses, pillows, duvets etc, and the reason it's such a common bedding material is its insulating properties and softness (hence giving comfort). Admittedly that line's the weakest part of the riddle, so I'm sorry if it didn't click with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Nope, sorry, though a good guess. I like to play with words. I cheated now . I looked at Mac's answer. My train of thought wasn't going that way at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Question
Guest
This is my first attempt at a riddle, so I think this one should be a doddle. I'm quite pleased with it though...
I lift up some, bring others down,
I'll give you comfort through the night,
My beauty was never more than skin-deep,
But even if I'm dark, I'm light.
